The Voices of Wittgenstein brings for the first time in both the original German and English translation over one hundred short essays in philosophical logic and the philosophy of mind of historical importance to understanding Wittgenstein's philosophical thought and development in the 1930's. Transcribed from the papers of Friedrich Waismann and dating from 1932-35, the majority are highly important dictations by Wittgenstein to Waismann and it also included texts of redrafted material by Waismann closely based on the dictations. eBook available with sample pages: 0203412028
In Descartes' Dualism Gordon Baker and Katherine J. Morris controversially challenge the consensus prevailing in Descartes' scholarship and philosophy in general, by arguing that Descartes' concept of a person differs widely from what is commonly understood as Cartesian Dualism. They argue for a radically different interpretation of Descartes' doctrine and develop a case for looking again at Descartes' actual concept of a person while assessing its importance for current philosophical investigations in areas as diverse as logic, cognitive science and animal rights. Descartes' Dualism is a thoroughly scholarly work which will be required reading for all Descartes scholars, historians of philosophy and analytical philosophers; yet its accessibility will appeal to those outside academic circles with an interest in this infamous but generally misunderstood philosopher.
Was Descartes a Cartesian Dualist? In this controversial study, Gordon Baker and Katherine J. Morris argue that, despite the general consensus within philosophy, Descartes was neither a proponent of dualism nor guilty of the many crimes of which he has been accused by twentieth century philosophers. In lively and engaging prose, Baker and Morris present a radical revision of the ways in which Descartes' work has been interpreted. Descartes emerges with both his historical importance assured and his philosophical importance redeemed.
